I was sitting in a Hippie village and couldn't leave for some weeks.
Other people would come and go. I was playing chess and reading books, that people handed me.
That's how I read Gladwell.
I also go to a (mostly Hungarian) hippie community on Tenerife on this Friday (on 2023.04.21). I am happy to read your (and anyone/everyone else's) good experience. This will be my first experience with the hippie life.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Good luck!
Wish you the best.
